ImpactVC exists to unlock venture capital’s ability to solve the world’s most pressing challenges. This is founded in the belief that venture capital can deliver transformative positive change in outcomes for people and planet – if VCs focus effectively on intentional positive impact in their investments - and that doing so can unlock significant commercial value in parallel. ImpactVC gives VCs the community and resources they need to do this, aiming to fundamentally tilt the venture ecosystem towards impact. In practice, this means we do two things: - Build a community of leaders within venture capital – including both VCs experienced in impact and top tier mainstream VCs who are newer to impact. This community learns together, shares insights, and fosters collaboration to accelerate impact within VC. - Co-develop a suite of open-source tools and products with the community that help venture firms invest effectively for impact – from setting fund-level goals, to sourcing and selecting startups with an impact lens, to helping those startups scale their impact alongside their commercial value. The first 'product' is the ImpactVC Playbook. ImpactVC is currently being incubated within Big Society Capital (https://bigsocietycapital.com), the UK's leading investor in impact venture funds, but over time it is designed to spin out to be led by the community in the UK, Europe, and beyond.
